No Grocery Shopping Challenge
Alright folks, I'm starting on Aug 14, and going to hopefully Nov. 14....
I spent only about $100 "getting ready" and honestly, most of it was just nerves...I'm pretty sure I will not use another 50 lbs of wheat between now and then, but I 'had' to buy it while I still could.
Something new I did that I've never done before was freeze eggs. I blended up two dozen eggs and then froze them in ice cub trays. So now I have them too...
As far as my 'rules' here they are, they are basic.
1. I can not but anything to cook with....for three months.
2. I must prepare all my food except for that I will still have my budget for going out to eat as I know that I work will not allow me to eat in the office all the time, but I will keep it to the minimum and let you know when I do it.
In my nervousness I cooked and froze three batches of breadsticks, a Cheesburger pie, and mini meatloves this weekend.... I have enough food for the week...no problem!! I also made a giant CC cookie with a cream cheese whipped toping and stawberries and madrian orages on top for the guys at work! The kitchen is a disaster!!
And so the challenge starts!
Do you guys really want me to list what I cook?
